Not just the names "we" come up with! Paramount has a distinguished
history of violating the "rules" with Klingon names -- starting with
Worf! Place names are also apparently a bit flexible. We've heard
of the "Kri'stat" volcano, and the river "Skral".

Yes, this is "old" news to some of us. There are probably enough new
members on the list (who haven't obtained the appropriate back issues
of the KLI's journal, HolQeD) for it to be worth restating, though.
